I may not know what you're thinking anymore, in fact i gave that up when you walked out the door. I tried to be good, tried to stay fast but the taste of your cigarettes still put me on my ass. I hope he's good to you, I hope he treats you right. I hope he helps you fall asleep at night. I could use some of that, it's been far and few between. Restless nights since last Halloween.

And when we make up we can tell our friends the stories of disaster. of the "good old days" and reparations made. but until i will wear this knife around my throat and keep you close to my heart. Because I'm addicted to a major kind of sadness that either makes you cry or makes you want to dance. I don't know if I'm making any progress but the devil makes work for idle hands. and i can't wake up from this dream, can we turn it down a notch? I've never been the one for giving up. Now i'm living in an existential nightmare. Can't decide whether to sink or to swim. And I don't know how you can feel sorry, when you're still having sex with her.

if you listen closely you can probably hear it. the sound of the earth turning on her axis. i can see the stars twinkling away, i know they're not for me but they take my breath away. and if you were here (and I know you're somewhere) I'd rub your feet while you run your fingers through my hair. I'd hold you close, tight to my heart while you whisper in my ear and tear my world apart. I'm not sure what i'm doing, i just know it feels good. and i'm not one for feeling holy but i'm pretty sure that something should. and if you listen closely you'll definitely hear it, the sound of my brittle and breaking bones. and everywhere you look you can see them, the ghosts i make my friends when i am alone.

I'm trying to ignore my songs are just old Dylan chords recycled and painted like they're new. and i'm starting to rescind all this dust in the wind makes it hard to breath but it's all i learned to do. and i've yet to take a trip on some magic swirling ship, but if i ever did I'd surely know trust the smiles but stay awake, every single breath they take is planted to reap just what they sow. you can say a lot about the songs you sing aloud at night every time you think you are alone. the chords of chemical romances are working through their dances and yesterday will still be true tomorrow. but they'll never really tell you how alone you feel sifting through your once stable bones. and every instinct tells you they've got some smoke to sell you but no matter where you crawl you're never home. you've probably already passed me by. that's okay, it doesn't matter, the best i can every do is try. if any words that i could say would help you break your day to day, well i'd write them down and sing them all to you.

God doesn't hate fags, you are just an asshole.

about

This is, essentially, a musical culmination of my time spent in Kirksville, Missouri. What follows is five year of heartache, healing, and just plain dicking around distilled into twelve minutes and seven seconds. I hope you like it. Cheers.

You guys are the real heroes.
